I suppose I'd best make it clear since two people mentioned this...

Eliz is still on an adventure. She'll be back at the start of the next season. [@Wernher] is going to get a PM concerning the trek into Stormpeak this week (I plan to send it tomorrow), and then after I've sent that off and gotten a reply I'll incorporate that into the next post.

[@Jangel13] Dunald makes a good point in babbysama's post. They've got their own ways of getting water. You COULD draw it toward them and make a pond, but it'd still be in your territory because to make it reach THEIR territory you'd have to dig uphill for a long time.

I mean, it's a nice idea on the surface, but in the end you have to balance cost vs. rewards.

Also, note that repaying favors isn't a super hard thing to do. A gift of 14 goods or 14 cattle might be enough to repay a favor if a good diplomat delivers the message. Or they might ask us for knowledge of a ritual, or of a blessing, or of a quest. Etc. Another case might be warning Clan Gearalti of an attack headed their way, or letting Gearalti warriors pass through your territory to attack your neighbors.

Speaking of which, I STILL haven't written up your blessings. I'll get back to you folks on that.
